I currently have 6 Gold Skunk ladies. They have been flowering for 50 days under 8 42W CFL's. Anyone know how much longer itl take to finish? Their super sticky and about 40% of hairs have started to turn colours. I was looking forward to a bigger yeild, but im happy how its coming along :)

thats not bad for CFLs, just make sure you've got 4 warm/red in your set of CFLs. flower them for another 2 weeks then a 5/7 day flush. id be very happy with that result considering your only using CFLs . coming along very nicely.

Looks awesome dude. You got another 2-3 weeks to go. Get yerself a microscope from Radio Shack ($10) and read about harvesting by trichome colors.

I applaud you for being one of the few CFL growers that actually has enough light (although 2 more 42's woulda been great -- next time?) :)

Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Thanks widow man, il be sure to incorporate those red spectrum lights along with my next grow. But as for flushing, does that mean i overwater the plants with just normal water?

Buster thanks for the props :D

WBD Thanks for the input, Im planning to use T5's for the next grow, I seen some results from T5's and their amazing.

zedragon, iv been vegging for 1 1/2 months, i found the vegging state of CFL to be really slow compared to HID's



This is a pic of my past harvest It is an Outdoors swiss strain also grown with CFL's, it was yummy.

nice for cfls, I am old timer so seeing is believing. I use t5s full soectrum for veg, love them. Not heat so you can get right down on the plant. Got to watch what you buy though, look for full spectrum on the light. I use a brand called sunblaster, their pretty reliable. check out a Home - Future Harvest Development. Have you though about using one 125w cfl, or a 200w. might help your quantity.

i would say another 1 - 1 1/2 weeks left...then chopp em. Yes...you just use water and make shure that there is water comming out of the bottom of your buckets....to make shure you get thourough saturation of the soil....especially when flushing...

thanks everyone :) I will be harvesting in 2 more weeks. I want to ensure that all the buds are ripe. I have also seeded a branch or 2 so i want the seeds to be fully ripe.

Next grow will definatly be either a T5 or HPS, still deciding on that, but I guess the CFL results are not that bad either.

How much do you guys think i can yield from these plants?

Here are some recent pics of the ladies.

I am currently flushing, as I will be harvesting in 3 more days (DAY 60).. Do the buds look ready? Im so stoked to finaly harvest, watching the little seeds grow into lusciouse buds. mmm yummy. unfortunatly i dont have a magnifying glass, so I can only guess when to harvest by looking at the hair colours.
